I am pleased to announce version 0.4 of GNU Guile-RPC.
GNU Guile-RPC is an implementation of the ONC RPC and XDR standards for
remote procedure calls and data encoding, as defined in RFC 1831 and RFC
4506. A well-known use of these protocols is NFS (the Network File
System). More information at <http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-rpc/>.
This release provides long overdue updates for use with Guile 2.0.
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify guile-rpc-0.4.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys EA52ECF4
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.14.1
Makeinfo 5.2
Changes from version 0.3:
** New features
*** Guile-RPC can now be compiled with Guile's compiler
On Guile 2.0 and later, Scheme source files are compiled to Guile object
files (`.go' files).
*** In non-strict mode, `string' can be used as a procedure parameter type
*** Build machinery has been modernized, now complies with latest Automake
** Bug fixes
*** The upper bound checked by the `uint32' type predicate was off-by-one
*** The compiler would generate invalid calls to 'make-synchronous-rpc-call'
